3 Things You Need To Know About Our New Favorite Country Star, Lee Brice

When you first see Lee Brice, the hulking 6-foot-3-inch country star, your first thought probably isn't, "Well, there goes a sweatheart." But you're wrong. Very wrong. The man is all love. When he came by the REDBOOK offices to give us an exclusive peek at his new album, I Don't Dance (out September 9), he told us a sweet tale about a girl he liked in high school who wouldn't go for him because he wasn't a "bad boy." In fact, she said he was the kind of guy she'd date—after college. It all worked out for Lee, though, who has two kids and a wife he referenced throughout our interview. Lucky woman! Here's his soulful tribute to good guys everywhere.
